dear respected advocates,
One Adv has made defamation statements in written statements, he knowingly wrote defamation statements on plaintiff because plaintiff with proof has proved adv and the client he is representing (defendant) in wrong doing including the false evidence produced before court to win some other cases.
So defamation statements made by Adv is malice, i have a proof to prove that.
in this situation Defamation statements made by the Adv with malice is absolute privilege or qualified privilege ?
please share any judgment references to initiate a defamation suit please ? where in it is has held that statement made is with intent to harm the reputation of plaintiff.
client has authorized the adv to make a statement which the client and adv both knows is untrue.
